7-Day Average Daily Volume

Averaging over a week damps the noise in any single day while remaining responsive to a change in conditions. It is the usual reference for judging whether a given trade size is large or small relative to the market. The mean is unweighted, so every day in the window counts equally.

计算方式

sum of daily trading volume over the trailing 7 days / 7

易产生误导之处

A single event day, such as an exchange listing, an airdrop claim window, or a token unlock, can supply most of a seven-day average and make the market look several times deeper than it normally is. Seven days always contains one weekend, and although digital-asset venues trade continuously, institutional flow and market-maker capacity still thin out then, so a window ending Monday is not comparable to one ending Thursday. The average cannot separate organic turnover from volume generated to earn maker rebates or listing incentives. It inherits every venue-coverage and wash-trading problem of the underlying daily figures.

与股权的类比，以及为何该类比不成立

Average daily volume used to size orders in equities; the equity input is tape-reported and regulated, so ADV there is a far more reliable estimate of executable size than this figure is.

如何解读高值或低值

A higher average means more dollars per day changed hands over the week than for an asset with a lower average. Compare it against the size of a position being studied rather than across assets of different market capitalization.
